Seems like the year 2024 is not good for actor-turned-politician Govinda. Two months ago, Govinda accidentally shot himself with a gun. On Saturday, he was campaigning in Jalgaon; he had to stop his rally mid-way as he had chest pain.

Several reports claimed that Govinda's condition worsened during the rally.

During the roadshow, he asked people to stand by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and vote for the ruling alliance comprising BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP. Govinda is a former Congress Lok Sabha MP who joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.

As reported by news agency PTI, his campaign trail was for Mahayuti candidates for the November 20 polls.

Govinda, who was in Jalgaon to campaign in Muktainagar, Bodwad, Pachora and Chopda, returned to Mumbai. In Pachora, Govinda held a roadshow, which he halted midway after feeling unwell.
